Record on windows IOT from webcam in 1080p

Question

Following this example i note that the resolution of the video is 640*480. The code works perfect. My webcam is a 1080p model. How do i get the Raspberry PI to save video at 1080p?

Here is the camera initialization code directly from the sample,aswell as the code to record video. I cannot find any location where the resolution is set.

 private async void initVideo_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        // Disable all buttons until initialization completes

        SetInitButtonVisibility(Action.DISABLE);
        SetVideoButtonVisibility(Action.DISABLE);
        SetAudioButtonVisibility(Action.DISABLE);

        try
        {
            if (mediaCapture != null)
            {
                // Cleanup MediaCapture object
                if (isPreviewing)
                {
                    await mediaCapture.StopPreviewAsync();
                    captureImage.Source = null;
                    playbackElement.Source = null;
                    isPreviewing = false;
                }
                if (isRecording)
                {
                    await mediaCapture.StopRecordAsync();

                mediaCapture.Dispose();
                mediaCapture = null;
            }

Take a look at "VideoDeviceController.GetAvailableMediaStreamProperties" and "VideoDeviceController.SetMediaStreamPropertiesAsync" toget the available resolutions and set the resolution of the video capture device.
